Andalucia Adopts Free Software

InodoroPereyra writes "Browsing Linux Today I found a link to an HispaLiNUX article stating that Andalucia goes OpenSource. More specifically, "All public educational centre necessities are intended to be fulfilled, first of all, with Free Software [...] It is compulsory to all hardware acquired by official educational centres to be fully compatible with Free Software operating systems. Furthermore, it must be preinstalled in all new bought computers". Andalucia is a region located to the South of Spain, with about 7.5 million inhabitants. This is an important follow-up to the many stories on Linux in Extremadura."

    Andalucia? Extremadura?
    Sorry, but this needs to go much further.

    What about Higgletypigglety and Ishkabibble? Ringolevio might get on board, but I think Jaberwocky will be the hold-out.

    HI SLASHDOT-

    I am Junis from Kabul. With
    help from friend Jon Katz I
    have made first release of
    my new operating system -
    JUNIX. Plays well MP3 and has
    good support for iPod system.
    Also special file sytem to
    store DivX of baywatch and
    survivor television show.
    I very much like america
    culture. JUNIX is built for
    commodore but I include my
    compiler so you can build for
    your system when you have dug
    up hardware from chicken hut.

    THANKS.
    --JUNIS
